But Okung tells FOX Sports that he came out of it OK, though his bosses back in Seattle weren’t thrilled about how he spent his summer vacation. The guy did miss 10 games in his first two seasons with the Hawks.

“Well, they didn’t really like it, but they told me to be safe and they trust me to make the best and right decisions.

There’s so much in this world, it’s amazing. There’s so much life to be lived. I figured why not?

“So I did it, and I’m still here to talk about it, sitting in front of this beautiful monument.”

Here’s hoping the next monument he sits in front is the Lombardi Trophy.

Cliff diving and maybe hang gliding might be next for Okung. He says you don’t want to go through life without living it.

You would think that last week would have been living enough. You be the judge:
